What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Kia K900 and Stinger vehicles with the 3.3-liter turbocharged engine, the oil feed pipe and hose that supply oil to the left turbocharger can wear out over time. This can cause the pipe and hose to leak engine oil. Because this leak happens near hot parts of the engine, it raises the chance of a fire starting in the engine compartment while the car is being driven.
What you should do
2. Contact a Kia dealer, or call Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542.
3. The repair, replacing the oil feed pipe and hose, is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
